Still waiting for property tax relief

November 04, 2007|The Morning Call

With the recent opening of the first stand alone casino and the news that already the state admits to collecting more than $1 billion, a thought comes to mind: Has anyone's property taxes gone down 10 cents? No!

The time has come to elect all new government representatives. We need people who have worked for a living; who live from paycheck to paycheck; who can't afford higher taxes, oil bills, gas bills, gasoline prices, food prices and electric bills.We can end all residential property taxes, not accept empty promises to lower them. It's time to actually own property instead of leasing it from the government with the payments always going higher.

Also, I have a suggestion for our new government representatives.They should pass a law to rescind the golden parachutes that they have voted for themselves, just like all the other workers who lost benefits after retirement.
